Calling all intrepid travelers! Pair your love of adventure with a creative DIY in this Seattle embroidery workshop. Join artist Robert Mahar in creating a charming set of embroidered souvenir postcards.
He has searched near and far for a collection of perfectly patinated postmarked cards that have now been digitally restored, reprinted, and made ready just for you. You will learn the best practices for stitching on paper, including the transfer of imagery and patterns, and clever finishing techniques. The resulting set can be displayed as reminders of actual or imaginary adventures, or sent to loved ones as deliverable mail art.
This workshop ventures around many traditional embroidery techniques and embraces an approach to embroidery that is more freeform in nature, allowing you to stitch paper in a fun and unique way. Choose your own adventure during this project by selecting a palette, design, and stitch placement! This project is well-suited for everyone and requires no previous experience.
While you’ll receive a set of postcards that include some of Robert’s favorite U.S. travel destinations, you’ll learn stitching techniques that can be applied to examples in your collection. Instruction also includes a discussion of the many ways in which these stitched pieces of ephemera can be incorporated into multimedia artist books or wall panels.
